What it does
Sites that publish connected content often end up with related posts scattered across the archive, leaving readers unsure what comes next. This plugin lets you assign posts to a series, create new series on the fly and insert a post into the middle of a series, with the order adjusting automatically. Each post then displays series information in a format you can customize, so visitors can see the context and move through the set in order.
Management happens inside WordPress. A central screen lets you add, edit and delete series and give each one an image, and the Posts list shows which posts belong to a series, with filters to find them. The Publish Series screen schedules, publishes or unpublishes every post in a series at once. The Pro features add support for custom post types, multiple series per post, series groups, shortcodes and extra template tokens, and the option to remove PublishPress branding.
Best for
- Online magazines and newspapers publishing issues
- Bloggers writing serialized stories or multi-part guides
- Educators organizing lessons into ordered sequences
Features
Flexible series assignment
Add any post to an existing series or start a new one, and insert posts mid-series while the plugin adjusts the order for you automatically.
Central series management
Add, edit and delete series from one screen, and upload an image for each series so it has its own visual identity.
Bulk series publishing
The Publish Series screen lets you schedule, publish or unpublish all posts in a series together, keeping a release in sync.
Automatic series display
Posts show series details automatically in a format you can customize, giving readers context about where the post fits in the set.
Posts screen filters
See which posts belong to a series directly in the WordPress Posts list and filter the list to find serialized content quickly.
Custom post type support
Apply series to any custom post type as well as standard posts, so the plugin fits sites with different content structures.
Multiple series and groups
Assign a single post to more than one series, and organize series into groups that act as higher-level categories for visitors.
Shortcodes and template tokens
Place series information anywhere in posts or pages with shortcodes, and use tokens like series slug, ID, post author, thumbnail and post date in templates.
